After spending about half a month in the Great Tang Twin Dragons World, Xu Xiao had finally relaxed and was ready to return to the main world to continue his plans.
First of all, there's no rush to attack the DC Universe as agreed with the First Firmament.
Although Xu Xiao agreed to cause trouble in DC and help Him establish a bridgehead for dimensional invasion, he did not specify a timeframe.
Because Xu Xiao did not erode the World Authority, the Marvel Universe is not synchronized with his own world, and Xu Xiao is not in a hurry.
"The two universes are roughly the same size, and both contain many magnificent beings. As the first to arrive, my role is definitely to draw their fire."
"Let's find some suitable worlds to level up before setting off."
"Only by having our own strength can we ensure that we can get a piece of the pie in subsequent actions, instead of being treated as a used and discarded glove."
Xu Xiao had no resistance to cooperating with First Firmament; on the contrary, he was very much looking forward to it.
But that doesn't mean he should rush up and make knives for them.
For these guys, Xu Xiao's ability to freely travel between different worlds is the basis for their interest, and Xu Xiao's possession of the World Power, which allows him to contend with them, is what gives him the right to have an equal dialogue.
Power is the foundation of all planning. Without equal power, once you've been used as a knife, the next step is to be eaten along with the meat.
"The next thing is more troublesome; as of now, I still don't know how to connect the worlds I control."
"For a project like the Multiverse Breeding Farm, which involves mass-producing followers, it's too slow to rely solely on me selecting people from among the believers."
"If we're going to cause trouble in the DC Universe, it'll definitely end up being a battle of kings against kings, generals against generals, and soldiers against soldiers. I alone won't be enough."
Xu Xiao was having a headache about what to do next.
Now that his horizons have broadened, he can no longer simply use any indigenous force as a weapon as before.
Although we could use the Seed of Desire to find a suitable alias, just like we did with Apocalypse, we still lacked manpower.
Not every worthwhile Seed of Desire is worth planting; using it to control subordinates in bulk would be a waste.
As for the multiverse breeding farm plan, he had already set the Spiritual Energy concentration in the worlds he controlled, and even spread some cultivation paths, but the time was too short to see any benefits.
"Therefore, we still need to find some quick methods."
" Iron Man's intelligent armored army, the viral weapons of Resident Evil, the Boys's Compound V, RoboCop army..."
Xu Xiao prefers to adopt existing methods rather than cultivate them himself.
When they go to cause trouble in the DC Universe, they absolutely need a scapegoat to attract attention.
"Besides, it's not just about finding cannon fodder now; the main world is changing every moment. Should I stay here and guard this place?"
Xu Xiao, who was staying in the main world, sensed that the date of the main world's upgrade was approaching, and was somewhat reluctant to be active at this time.
After all, opportunity knocks but once!
The moment the main world completes its ascension, he will have to seize the initiative as the first God born in this world—this is a momentous event.
"Currently, there are two chosen ones in the main world who are close to reaching the level of God. They should be the companion God that the original world was meant to cultivate."
"We can't kill them, because if we do, the evolution of the world might be hindered again."
"How about... we try to see if the clone can use the World-Crossing Gate to travel through time?"
Xu Xiao's mind raced, and he thought of his previous actions of interfering with Apocalypse through the Seed of Desire.
Strictly speaking, Apocalypse is not his alter ego, but rather someone whose actions are partially governed by the Dao of Desire.
Moreover, the other party did not experience the power of the portal; their travel between different timelines in Marvel relied on their own superpowers and the Space Stone, which carries the laws of the Marvel Universe.
In fact, traveling between different times and spaces in a large world is completely different from Xu Xiao's kind of travel between different worlds, which requires crossing world barriers.
Xu Xiao originally planned to experience the differences himself, but the subsequent actions of Phoenix disrupted his plans, and Apocalypse had to experience the differences of time travel on his behalf.
Fortunately, the feeling transmitted through the Seed of Desire is almost no different from the original feeling, and Xu Xiao also recognized the difference between the two.
"Having a clone is good; it can help explore some dangerous worlds. I just don't know if this treasure will recognize it."
Xu Xiao rubbed his temples, then snapped his fingers to the side.
A drop of pale golden blood flew out, emitting a faint fragrance.
Although it was Xu Xiao's clone, Xu Xuanpin, who became a god, the relationship between the two is like the two sides of the same person; Xu Xiao's original body also carries divine blood.
The drop of divine blood flew out and instantly began to rapidly divide and regenerate, from blood to meridians, then to bones and flesh, quickly transforming into a pure white body.
Aside from his blank stare and lack of consciousness, he looks exactly like Xu Xiao himself.
With a wave of his hand, he made a set of clothes for the other person. Xu Xiao then reluctantly shaved off a bit of his consciousness essence from his true spirit.
This thing is an extremely precious source even for him now, and he dares not give away too much of it.
But if it's not given, it's just a creation with flesh and blood, and can't be considered an avatar.
A trace of true spiritual essence imprinted itself between the eyebrows, and the body in front of him immediately gained consciousness, its eyes becoming lively.
"Come here, give it a try."
Xu Xiao reached out his hand and stood hand in hand with his clone, feeling a little strange.
It's like holding your own left hand with your right—a little awkward, yet there's an urge to swallow the other person back.
Xu Xiao understood this feeling; it was the uniqueness inherent in every living being at play. The more powerful a being is, the more it desires to be unique, including Xu Xiao himself.
Suppressing some thoughts, Xu Xiao's main body activated the World-Crossing Gate in his Sea of Consciousness, intending to send his clone aside separately.
Then a flash of white light appeared, and the two disappeared together, only to reappear a short while later...
no!
Because they are essentially the same, once Xu Xiao chooses to travel through time, the World-Crossing Gate will take both of them with him.
This left Xu Xiao somewhat bewildered, and he could only continue trying.
"A clone can be used, but it can't be 100% similar to me; it needs some minor modifications."
After trying for a while, Xu Xiao finally discovered the pattern of the World-Crossing Gate.
Perhaps it's because Xu Xiao has taken control of multiple worlds, or perhaps it's because Xu Xiao's own strength has greatly increased, but the power of the World-Crossing Gate is stronger than before.
This was something Xu Xiao had only just noticed.
Normally, he would simply select the coordinates and go, without paying much attention to the fact that his cheat ability had been enhanced.
The current World-Crossing Gate not only allow living beings to pass through, but can even briefly materialize and linger in reality.
With just a little effort from Xu Xiao, this World-Crossing Gate can truly allow all things to pass through.
